MUMMIEs AS MEDICINE.
Remains of Egyptians Turned Into
Drugs Century or Two Ago.
Fronl the Nlneteenlh CentNry

d NCt1LOIy VI = W. |A9S'
From the Nineteenth Century.
Among tile standard medicines quoted in the
medical books of Nuremberg of eco years ago
are portions Of the embalmed bodies of man S
flesh, brought from the neighborhood of Mem
phis, where there are many bodies that have
been buried for more than thousand years,
called Mumia which have been embalmed with
costly saIvcs and balsams, and smell strongly of
myrrh, aloes and other fragrant things"
The learned doctors of France, Germany ana
Italy all made great use of this eccentric drug,
and in the seventeenth century gr1evouS com
plants arose Of its adultofatlon vi. Poinet,
chief apothecary TO the French King. records
that the Kings physician went to Alexandria to
judge for himself op this matter, and having
made friends with Jewish dealer in mumrnles,
was admitted to his storchouse, where he saw
piles of bodies. He asked what kind or bodies
were used and how they were prepared. The
Jew informed him that he took such bodies as he
could get, whether they died of some disease or
of some contagion. He enlbalmed them with the
SWecpingS CT various old drugs, lnyrrh, aloes,
pitch and gums; wound them about with u
cere cloth and then dried them in an oven, after
which he sent then TO Europe and marveled 10
see the Christians werc lovers of such filthiness.
But even this revelation did not suffice to put
mummy physic out OF fashion, and we know
that Francis the First of Franco always carried
with him well filled medicine chest, of which
this was the principal ingredient.
A traveller also records how one of his friends
found nt he tombs at Ghizeh jar carefully
sealed, which he opened and found to contain
such excellent honey that he could not resist
eating good deal of it and was only checked in
his feast by drawing out a hair, whereupon he
investigated further and found the body of an
ancient Egyptian baby in good condition and
adorned with jewels. He does not record how

Revivallst "Sam" Jones Comes Rather
High.
From the Cincinnati Times-St

From the Cincinnati TImes-Sfdr.
Mr.. Samuel JONES' an evangelist of the Metho-
dist church. has been engaged to appear at the
Loveland camp meeting this summer. That is
| not particularly sensational matter. for Mr..
| Samuel Jones appeared at the Loveland camp
meeting last year. There is something about
the engagement of DIR. Jones to appear how
ever, that is the least bit out of the smooth and
ordinary progress of events that is making some
of the good brethren who manage the affairs of
the camp meeting think at the rate of sixty
miles an hour
When Mr. Jones appeared at the camp
| grounds last summer he stayed there seven
| days. AS o reward for his goodness in so stay
| ing he was given check for $1,000. The, offer
| ing was not wholly voluntary on the part of the
| management, for Mr.. Jones mad. the 81 900
check condition Of his appearance. But he
| was considered cheap for the money, and so the
check was cheerfully handed over. Arrange
mentS were made this year to have Mr.. Jones
come and stay longer.
1t was the universal opinion of all concerned
getting him here that he ought to stay week
at least, and when sufficiently urged Mr.. Jones
at last consented to prolong the period of reli-
gious enlightenment over that period. This
made the good brethren feel real happy, and
they have been counting up the joy of season
with the great evangelist as one of the principal
| delights of the year.
A few weeks ago however, there began to he
whisperings that Mr.. Jones had found it neces-
sary TO deprive the faithful OF portion of the
pleasures that they had so fondly anticipated.
II was said that he had found it necessary to lop
off few days Of the fourteen which he had
agreed TO spend amid the wooded hills of the
camp grounds The managers were appealed to.
They said That the rinIors We're correct, and the
JOY of the evangelist admirers was turned to
grief. There was not occasion for misery abso-
lutte, however, for he he'd promised to come for
n short time, anyhow, SO consolation was de-
rived from that.
Then it was heard that Mr. Jones had again
cut down his time here, and again and again until
he had only allowed three days to the Loveland
camp meeting. All this was found to be true
TOO, TOO true, alas: what is more, Mr.. Jones de-
mands $500 compensation for those three days.
That is the way the matter stands now--three
days ana $500.

The Jury EXEMPTION Bill

The bill introduced into the House on Sat
urday by Representative Gordon to repeal
so much of the law relating to military or
CARNATIONS as exempts fifteen members of
each military company from jury duty is a
wise one, and should meet with prompt and
hearty approval. The bill was suggested
by the last grand jury of this county, which
was composed of men who have had ample
opportunity to study the bad effects of the
present exemption law.
It is often difficult to get good men for
either grand Or petit jurors, because so
many who are well fitted for jury duty are
exempt 1t is difficult to find citizen who
will not say that the exemption law is bad
one; even those who take advantage of it
willingly admit that it is.
One of the reasons why so many persons
charged with offenses against the laws have
escaped punishment is, that it has been an
easy matter, because of the lack of jurors,
to get those who sympathise with them into
the jury box.
Because man is financially able to pay
a small sum to be an honorary member
of a military company he should not escape
some of the most onerous burdens of cit-
zeuship If half the citizens escape these
burdens the other half have to carry a
double burden. As a rule the well-to-do
and rich escape, while the poor are forced
to do double duty. Let the exemption law
be repealed, not only because justice re-
quireS it, but also because the material from
which Jurors are drawn ought to be as
good as possible.

South carolina's Child Murderer.

The case of the South Carolina colored
girl VINO, couple 0: weeks or so ago, was
convicted of murder end sentenced to be
hanged is attracting some attention il DIFF
| ferent parts Of the country. The girl is II
! years Of age, and has, IL seems, rather
! feeble intellect. She killed u white infant
which was left in her caro- by giving it CON
centratod I've. II is claimed that she was
not capable of understanding the wicked
ness of the deed she was committing, and
that, therefore, she should not DO made TO
| suffer the penalty for it.
Some of the Northern papers are trying
to make it appear that if she were not
negro She would not have been convicted of
murder and sentenced to death, but this
view is manifestly unjust to the court and
jury that tried her. Those who commit
crimes like the one committed by this col
orcd girl whether white or black, receive
but little leniency from South Carolina
courts, and doubtless the criminal in this
case was dealt with as mercifully as a white
girl would have been under similar circum-
stances. The girl was of responsible age
and her crime was clearly proven. No
uouDO Oue jury WIS HdbtSIicl uHuJ, dibuOuSu
she was ignorant and not very bright, she
knew perfectly well what she was doing
when she committed the horrible deed
If there are circumstances which tend to
create doubt whether the girls crime was
really as great as that of which she was
convicted the Governor will no doubt take
notice of them. He is conscientious Off
cial and will not permit a wrong to be done
with his sanction. He win undoubtedly
have all tho facts laid before him, and will
not be influenced in his action by any other
consideration than that of duty. If he
finds that the girls intellect is so weak that
she could not have been fully capable Of
realizing what she was doing when she adj
ministered the I've to the baby, he will
doubtless commute her sentence to a rea-
sonable term of imprisonment He will
certainly not permit an irresponsible human
being to suffer the death penalty, and there
are no people in South Carolina who want
him to permit such thing.

The Summer Shower.

AS on fair face, bright as skies of May,
Dark frowns may gather at a thoughtless
word;
SO swift the heavens on this summer day
With angry clouds by careless winds are
blurred.
AS loving smiles, in laughter wreathed give
place
To grieving, quivering lips, or haunting sheer;
So tossing shadows all the sunshine chase
With threatening humors of the skies austere.
As owes that glow with hope are drowned in
tears,
Ana 81. ne are changed to walls of dark des-
pair;
So all the blue OF summer disappears,
And jarring thunders echo through the air
And now it rains: great sheets OF moisture pour
In peltlng torrents from the angry cloud;
While the grim batteries of thunder roar
And shake the frightened earth with echoes
loud.
And am seven miles away from home:
Lost with a summer suit on; no umbrel
Muddy; afraid of thunder; drencied; this pome
Shall hide some things do not dare To tell

An Atheist Succumbs to the Pope.
EroJl the P,u AfoU Gozetto

A curious scene was witnessed the other day
at the Vatican NJ. Leo Taxil, whose real name
is Jong, and, formerly wrote some OF the most
"anti-clerical' works ever printed, according
TO his own account, while composing a diatri!iC
against Joan OF Arc he had to refer 10 the his
tory of her trial and condemnation. and was Sc
struck with the angelic character of the heroine
that he felt himself suddenly converted { the
very faith he was abusing
He proceeded instanter 10 Rome, 10 implorC
the Pope's forgiveness and blessing. His Holt
ness at once granted him a private audience
which lasted half an hour during which he
wept at the feet OF the holy father At length
the Pope consented TO give him his blessing or
the condition that in his future works he would
labor TO undo all tho harm he had done to the
Catholic Church. Mr.. Leo Taxil promised he
would do his best, and departed. Before leav

The Edinburgh NelOS is evidently not in
love with Mr.. Blaine, who went to Scotland
hoping to make capital which he might use
IN this country in next years political cam
paign. In recent issue this was said of
him: Though Mr.. Blaine consented, i'll
company with Mr. Andrew Carnegie, to
patronizo Alexander III. at bingham, tho
other day, it appears he draws tho line at
accepting presentation to her majesty. He
has assigned no reason for declining the
proffered honor, but an American paper
suggests an explanation which is at least
plausible. We are reminded that our dis
tinguished visitor has his eye on the Presi-
dency, and it is predicted that when the
next campaign opens, and he demands the
sutfraSes of his Hibernian fellow-citizens,
he viii point proudly to the fact that James
e. Blaine scorned the pomp and pageantry
of the British court and refused to be intro
duced to the Queen of England and EN-
press Of India-and why, my coUntrymen.
Why, because in the veins of that great and
good man upon his grandmothcr'S side runs
pure current of Celtic blood, and he could
not do homage to any oppressor of his down
trodden country. One is interested to
learn that Mr.. Blaine is an Irishman rs well
as Scot"
